Walkthrough
House of Strong
We pick up right at the very end of the previous episode. Strong Bad, jumping away from the protesters, accidentally hits the Trogdor arcade machine... which suddenly grows legs and a beefy arm! That can't be good! Well, that's what everyone who's not Strong Bad thinks; he thinks it's a riot!
- Go upstairs. You can find the Metal Detector in Strong Bad's room.
- And even though you gave it back to him in Homestar Ruiner, Homestar's cell phone is in the pile formerly known as Strong Bad's bed.
- The Cheat is here too. He wants to play his Gel-arshie-based licensed game. Strong Bad is quick to hypocritically remind him that licensed games suck.
- Talk to Strong Sad. He'll say that he tricked the Trogdor arcade outside. Ask him about it and he'll mention calling Videlectrix's support line for advice. He'll also give you the key to the cabinet.
- Oh, but the cell phone won't work indoors due to lousy reception or broken antennae or something, so you can't place that call just yet.
- Walk outside and the Trogdor arcade cabinet will run away! You'll chase it to the field.
The Field
Strong Bad marks the arcade cabinet's location on his map. You can still get all the usual Field locations by running around, though.
- Examine the field and it'll punch Strong Bad out. Strong Bad will recall Strong Sad remarking that only an idiot would take on a living Trogdor arcade cabinet alone! On cue, Homestar shows up in Strong Badia.
- Talk to Homestar and he'll mention that he's missing his lucky quarter. He won't help deal with the arcade cabinet without it. Perhaps you have something that can detect metal objects conveniently on your person?
- Use the metal detector and walk up to Homestar. You'll find something! Homestar will move away so you can find it better... and then the signal dies. Turns out Homestar swallowed it. However, he denies this, and he takes the metal detector from you to show you how he'll find it! He wanders up to the arcade cabinet, predictably gets punched, and the quarter flies out of his guts and into Strong Bad's glove. And the metal detector breaks.
- Give Homestar the quarter and he'll agree to help you.
- Give Videlectrix a call on Homestar's cell. They'll drop a box with a new logic board next to Bubs' Concession Stand.
- Collect the logic board.
- Use the key on the arcade cabinet to open it, and the logic board in order to get it working again.
Videlectrix will call back while you're in the middle of this. They'll say not to install the circuit board in the presence of something exposed to radiation. Oops, Homestar was exposed to radiation when the metal detector was used on him. The whole world ripples, Trogdor breaks free from the arcade cabinet, Strong Badia is burninated to the ground, and the 8-bit world is seeping into Free Country USA! Guess you're going to have to figure something out now...
